6mt issues

Howdy, well I am having a great day today. I pull into the parking lot at GVSU and the only close spot left is about half full of 2ft of snow. So I back the car onto/into the snobank and the fronts are still on the ground 1/4" of snow. I go to class and come back out. Put the car in 1st and I am stuck. So I put the dccd in 50/50 lock. All four spin for a min, then I shut the car off. Get out and walk to my fiancees. There I grab a shovel and walk back. I dig out the rears and make shure that all 4 are touching cement. Get back in and notice that the rears are spinning and the fronts are not. I have to dig the car out more, then rock it to get it out and the fronts were rolling but not pulling. So the car was in 0/100. I am thinking ***? So I drive over to my fiancee's and the car has rwd characteristics. I drop off the shovel and the car is off. Come back out start it and still rwd characteristics. So I do a little test. Pull the car up to a plowed area and put the fronts on cement and the rears on snow. The car spins the rears and dosn't feel like it is in awd. I drive it home and it is parked. While driving home it made no noises or funny sounds and the trans/front diff. fluid is normal color, not black. Please help me out if you have any clue of what is going on.
